Professional Landscape Design & Installation in Broadlands, Virginia
Our Broadlands design work covers newer HOA communities built on graded farmland — builder-grade yards that started as compacted subsoil. Every project starts with a real walkthrough, a custom plant-and-layout plan suited to your property, and a written, line-item quote before anything is dug. No matter where you are in Broadlands, you get the same crew, the same standard, and a written quote within 24–48 hours of the walkthrough.
The Short Answer
Professional landscape design in Broadlands typically runs $2,200–$6,180 for the design itself, with full design-and-install projects commonly landing at $4–$12 per square foot depending on scope. Lawn Theory's process starts with a real walkthrough and a written, line-item quote — then a plant palette suited to USDA Zone 7 (Broadlands's climate zone), so what looks good on install day still looks good in three years. One team designs and installs — the same crew that draws the plan puts the plants in the ground, so nothing gets lost translating a drawing to a shovel.

Broadlands, Answered
Landscape Design & Installation in Broadlands — Common Questions
How much does landscape design cost in Broadlands?
Professional design typically runs $2,200–$6,180, and design-and-install projects commonly run $4–$12 per square foot. Lawn Theory's Refresh projects start around $2,500, full yard designs around $9,500, and larger properties get a custom, written quote. Our crews work Broadlands regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.
What's included in a landscape design and installation project?
An on-site consultation, a custom plant and layout plan suited to your property, bed prep and edging, and full installation — all by the same team, plus a written, line-item quote before anything begins. Our crews work Broadlands regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.
What plants work best in Northern Virginia (Zone 7)?
Northern Virginia sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 7 with heavy clay soil and humid summers. We favor winter-hardy, clay-tolerant shrubs and perennials with layered bloom times and year-round structure, rather than generic national plant lists. Our crews work Broadlands regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.
How long does a landscape design project take?
A design plan is typically ready within 1–3 weeks of the initial consultation. Installation timelines depend on scope — a small bed refresh may take a day or two, while a full-property redesign can take several weeks. Our crews work Broadlands regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.
When is the best time to install new landscaping in Virginia?
Fall and spring are ideal for most plantings, giving roots time to establish before summer heat or winter cold. Late winter (January-February) often has the best contractor availability and scheduling flexibility. Our crews work Broadlands regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.
Do you handle both design and installation?
Yes. Lawn Theory handles the entire process — design, plant selection, bed prep, and installation — with one accountable team rather than separate designer and installer hand-offs. Our crews work Broadlands regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.
Can you work with an existing landscape instead of starting over?
Absolutely. Many projects are a refresh rather than a full teardown — we can integrate new plantings, reshape beds, and improve what's already there instead of removing everything. Our crews work Broadlands regularly, so scheduling is usually available within the week outside the spring rush — and every visit ends with before-and-after photos of the finished work.
